Mr. Hadley stated that they would like to construct an eight foot wood fence versus an eight foot masonry fence that is proposed in the ordinance. He explained that masonry is costly and would not match what is currently in the area. Mr. Hadley stated that they would prefer to only pave the parking lot areas not the area in the back like what is proposed in the ordinance.

Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Hadley regarding if the area could be landscaped? Mr. Hadley replied yes. There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:21 p.m. Commissioner Davis questioned staff regarding what would need to be placed in the ordinance to address the "dead" zone between fences? Ron Ruthven stated that a screening fence is required and therefore they could approach the adjacent property owner to see if they can replace the fencing and then maintain the fence on the subject property. Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding what type of fencing is in place right now. Ron Ruthven replied that there is a six foot wood fence currently in place. He further explained that City Council has requested that eight foot masonry fences be installed between residential and commercial. Commissioner Phelps stated that there are issues when the property lines do not currently match up which create fencing that is not straight. Ron Ruthven concurred. He stated that this would be one of those times when the property owner would take over the maintenance responsibilities of the fence. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding if the paving of the rear property was a previous requirement for another business owner. Ron Ruthven replied yes. He stated that the Land Development Code requires that all parking areas must be paved. He stated that with this case, since there will be no parking in the rear, then they may be able to City of CoUeyville Page 3 Prinfed on 2/28/2012 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final February 13, 2012 landscape this area. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding the parking requirement behind the building. Ron Ruthven stated that the parking in the rear would be anything behind the front line of the building.

He stated that the actual wall sign could not take up more than 75% of the wall sign area. He stated that the current sign (logo and lettering) would meet the Land Development Code. Commissioner Dudziak stated that it appears to be one giant sign and therefore does not meet the letter of the code. Ron Ruthven stated that he does not look at the entire blue section as part of the sign. He stated with this being an SUP, the Commissioners can be more specific, if necessary. Commissioner Rotthaus questioned Fire Marshal Rob McKeown regarding the paving or the greenbelt, has this area been inspected to know whether or not that the back is needed fora fire lane.

He stated as long as those requirements were met then he had no issue with landscaping the area. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding landscaping requirements for the subject property.

He stated that live plantings in pots could be added. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding what is located to the rear of the subject property. Ron Ruthven replied that it is the required open space for the Monterra subdivision. Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding if it would be reasonable for the fencing to match across the back especially since there will be landscaping along the back side. Ron Ruthven concurred and stated that the condition may be added to the ordinance. Commissioner Byerly stated he would like to see a masonry fence since the wall could be maintained and it would be more durable. Commissioner Phelps stated he would concur if there were masonry fences already in the area. He further explained that a masonry fence will stand out more than enhance. He stated that the landscaping will Cify of Colleyville Page 4 Printed on 2/28/2012 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final February 13, 2012 enhance the property especially since there is no room out front for landscaping. Ron Ruthven stated that at least for half of the property, there is no fencing, according to an aerial. He further explained that it appears to be wood. Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff regarding what fencing is located behind the Chamber building. Ron Ruthven replied that according to the aerial, there is no fence.
